For the First Time This Season

I want to first say thank you because you were the only cordial person that I had debated regarding this entire topic. You never said "NARF SCRAWS TRASK DIDN'T START" or anything like that. Although, you did accuse me of having a vendetta but I think at this point it's obvious I was just worried about our future at Quarterback.

I'm very hotheaded over this, because I'm unusually good at seeing which Quarterbacks will pan out and which won't, and it kind of rubs me the wrong way because even when I am absolutely correct people still say chide things like "well why don't you write to Mullen".

I think, in the end, it's a matter of time -- which is what I had said all along. My issue isn't that Franks cannot become an elite Quarterback, my issue is that the amount of time he needs to become one is more than Florida can offer. This isn't a place to 'learn on the job', especially when you've been on the job for so long.

He hasn't ran out of bounds, but for everything he's done right so far he seems to have developed some otherwise weird habits. The first I've noticed is that he goes for a jump every time there's contact, often to comically ineffective results. And it's not just one game, it's multiple games.

That being said:

Any person who thinks we're going in the wrong direction is an absolute fricking moron. The playcalling was almost pitch perfect, and you could see that Kirby was on his heels the entire game -- we were running at will, there were open plays, and we just failed to convert them.

Also, this isn't negativity, at some point everyone needs to take a hard look at a player and say: Do I like him because he's on my team, or do I actually think he's good? (This is in NO way connected to you, atl). Franks has been given every single thing he's needed to succeed -- a clean slate, a really good Quarterback developer, a solid running game, brilliant pass protection and outstanding receivers.

When you can't succeed with all of those pieces around you, the problem is you, not the team.

I was definitely the Color Guard for the anti-Franks movement, so I was the one that got the most attention for it but yes, you were almost the only other person who was like: What is it that people are seeing?

I think it's obvious now that people were too emotionally connected to him succeeding, and I think it's very obvious that this blocked them from seeing the reality.

Even with photo evidence of him throwing it to multiple defenders over the course of one game it wasn't enough, and he's lucky it was only one pick last game, too. Hopefully we move on after this week, and if I had to guess it would be for his attitude why he loses his position, if he loses it.

I don’t know if I can fully blame Emory on that fumble. The defense made a really good play on him. If the defenders hand never touches the ball the ball gets to the running back and I believe it would’ve been a first down.

Finch he was too shallow....or too close to the line of scrimmage to make that pitch..it could have been a turnover and tank God it wasn't. He will learn through reps how to make those reads and make the option pitch successful.

Again, the fact he is in the game at all with so much riding on it is a telling fact to me. I just hate to see him burn a redshirt and I wish I could remember if he played some in our first game against Coastal Carolina. I will have to check boxscores. If he did play in that game..thats two games and only gets to appear in 2 more?

I just think its funny that there are so many Franks apologists on this board but no one hesitates to shite on a hardworking player like #12 McWilliams.



It is what it is. I said pre-season 7-5, with optimism sometimes I posted 8-4. UF is 6-2, they've lost 2 games, when I thought it would be 3 losses by now. They have 2 averages teams and 2 bad teams left on the schedule, they could very easily finish the regular season with 9 or 10 wins, which is far beyond my expectations.

I said preseason they had to stay healthy at MLB (reese) and at corner (Wilson and CJ).

The games they have lost have been games where 2 or more of those players did NOT play.

As long as CJ and Reese are healthy the rest of the year, UF won't lose many games unless Franks loses his shite altogether.

Its bad when you see “fans” just waiting for the team to lose so they can scream from the mountain tops “I was right!!” while shaking their pom poms.
I may not like a player, i may not like a HC but I never hoped for the Gators to lose. Some guys on here act like snowflakes hoping America tanks so they can say they were right about the Potus.

“See, I told ya Franks isnt good”
No shite motherfkr, noone said he was great, we said hes the best we had that was ready.

You can play in 4 games and still redshirt.

The bowl game can be one of the 4.

Again Straws, Bitch, moan, complaint, grip, fuss, whatever, at the end of the day Franks is the best QB we have on the roster or he wouldn't be playing!

For the record, you will never hear me bash any of our players, some can play better some may not but they are still student athletes and deserve our support.

As Spurrier would say to players when they came off the field: "It's not your fault, it is my fault for playing you"

Straws everyone can see you for what you are...its sad really. Talk about something else. But no, you cant because your disturbed mind is so far from reality.

CAN you talk about something else?????????

Is there really anyone on here who thinks Franks is the future ? Franks seems to be the best option right now but everyone seems to agree that he is not a good enough runner to start next year . Franks has been manageable most of the year .
